Tin foil hat time
I heard the ambassador was supposed to be kidnapped and traded for some towel heads but the seals that were not supposed to be there put up a fight and messed up the plan our government had.

Does deforestation in Africa have any bearing on the wolf population in Canada?

No. It doesn't.

The eyewitnesses on the ground in Benghazi have already said that there was NO protest and the video was a non-event in Libya. The administration had all of that information already. They lied to us about it.

So you believe it wasn't a terrorist attack and it actually was a riot?

No, just making the point that the video in question did exist, and it did spark protests at embassies in various places around the world.

The issue of the video is pointless. What is more important to me is that there was possible help available and we didn't send in the troops.

I agree. Even if in retrospect it looks like they may not have gotten there in time to help, I think they should have gotten additional forces en-route while they figured out what was actually happening.

The other issue that concerns me is that is seems that there were warnings that something could happen but they were ignored.

Even if I was inclined to believe these types of things, I think they would have waited until after the election to pull something like that.

The truly alarming part of it was that the stand down orders were given BEFORE the attack was over. That's the most damning part. They had no idea how long this attack was going to continue and if it would stay localized to Benghazi. That told me that they were either willing to sacrifice every American in Libya or they knew everything about the attack, it's objectives, who was doing it, etc.

Either way... Treason.

I don't even want to pretend to sound like I know the first thing about Military command and control structure. I would have thought that in the time of crisis, the president (any president) would hand the minute by minute decision making over to someone more knowledgeable on military capabilities and procedures, and who would be more free of political motivations.

Without knowing who decided what when and what they knew of the situation at the time I don't know what it tells me.

If it was it was because of the protest. And I can easily believe that most of the people protesting never even saw it, but were told about it and told to go protest.

Umm ya, protests are the only reason YouTube pulls videos.... How many times has somebody linked a somewhat offensive YouTube video on this site and before anybody had a chance to see it, it was pulled? Oh, I guess that was because they caused major worldwide protests and terrorist attacks....
